Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing. I haven’t been there for over twenty years but it hasn’t changed much! The camera doesn’t do it justice, the rock ledges are huge. Y’all made it look easy. It’s great place to ride if your into Hard Enduro. And it’s free. Also it drys fast after a rain.
Thanks. I do run a Rekluse clutch. Started using one about 9 years ago and like it. I can ride a clutch bike but prefer the auto clutch now. Also allows me to run a left hand rear brake lever which really helps in the super gnarly stuff.
You can tell.. he never takes it out of 2nd XD... that bogging sound when he gets on the throttle is the behavior of an auto clutch on a 2 stroke thats in a less than perfect gear. but that's what you buy them for, let the rekluse do all the work. Emma is a PITA as it is!
@@dirtbikehombre7987 , Running the taller gear allows for smoother riding and less fatigue. I have tested this in race conditions, (running lower gear where it "sounds good", vs. running in 3rd or 4th where it "sounds boggy" but is not), and it is noticably faster to run the tall gear.
Hey, I am moving to Austin from Michigan next month. Definitely want to ride this trail. Looks like a alot of fun! Are there usually enough people out there to join a group to ride with if I come solo?
There are usually people out there. Don't recommend riding solo if it's your first time. There are also much better places to ride not far from Austin as well, Central Texas Off Road (CTOR) and Hidden Falls Adventure Park, I have vids of each on my RUclips page keepupwithajones. Holler when you get ready to ride and I'll make sure you have someone to ride with wherever you decide to go.
@@keepupwithajones That sounds good. I was planning on hitting up CTOR. I usually try to do Sprint Enduro and HS races whenever I can. I will be out there second week of August. I will shoot you a reply message on here when I am planning on riding, depending on the heat of course.
Can’t remember. Looks like late spring/early summer. Everywhere here is too hot from July-September after 12 pm. Just go early in those months. Entire rest of year is great
What kind/model of dirtbike is that? I took my full suspension mountain bike there last week and had a blast on all the downhill stuff. Didn't quite have enough horsepower to make it up some of the rock climbing stuff though.
Jacob Reese , depends on your skill level really. I’ve had friends ride 500s on it. It’s technical but definitely rideable on most anything if you’re up for a challenge.
Nickolas Zinsmeister , if you can ride it really well. There are some really gnarly rock walls to climb. Bike needs good rock protection. You will crash.
It’s fairly difficult. Great place to go if you’re close to it though. Don’t ride it alone and preferably with someone who’s been out there. Great place to build skills for Texas trails too!
Not that I know of. I only go there about once a year. Check out Austin Motor Sports Association AMSA. They have ride days and other stuff where you can meet local riders.

Thanks! Agree 100%
Awesome video and great camera position!
Another great video, thanks for posting this. I'm curious, do you have a Rekluse clutch on your bike? Why/why not?

@@keepupwithajones Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

The guy in front sure does love letting his bike take a rest on the steps lol

@@davidhanscom1048 , see ya then
Will my z125 make it on these trails lol
What month? Too hot in summer?

2018 KTM 300 XCW. Definitely makes the climbs easier!
Do you think this trail is too technical for a drz400?
Jacob Reese , depends on your skill level really. I’ve had friends ride 500s on it. It’s technical but definitely rideable on most anything if you’re up for a challenge.
@@keepupwithajones what about a 50 cause that’s what I have
Is this still open to the public with dirt bikes?
Yes it is.
Is the park free entrance?
chiripas Romero , yes it’s free
@@keepupwithajones in your videos when you say "Central texas trails" is that still here around Austin TX?
chiripas Romero emma long is in Austin. Another area I ride I Central Texas Off Road ctortrails.com/ It’s in Salado just north of Austin.
I ride there all the time. Do you always drive that white truck?
No that’s a riding buddy. I drive a black Tundra. He rides there more than I do. I mostly ride CTOR.
Every time I go I've seen that truck. I drive a white z71 suburban, normally with a ladder on it. Stop by the truck if I'm there.
Hey I got a KTM 690 r
Will I do ok on it there ?
Thanks
Looks fun

@@keepupwithajones Let me know if you ever see a Beta 390 out there!
I can tell you it's not for an Africa Twin. Made it .5 miles in and said no thanks...
What is the difficulty level. I’m new to riding. My second bike but I’ve only done off road once.
It’s fairly difficult. Great place to go if you’re close to it though. Don’t ride it alone and preferably with someone who’s been out there. Great place to build skills for Texas trails too!
@@keepupwithajones is there a crew going tomorrow just moved here don’t know anyone.
